Chapter 1181 All I Am One, the Heart Is the Universe (12)
Su Wu's eyes fell on the two tombs that had just been excavated and no one had been buried yet. He was still thinking about who these two tombs were reserved for.
Could it be that there are three more underworld masters in the underworld?
The middle-aged man placed a soul-calling flag on the lonely tomb. After bowing to the tomb, he turned around, looked at the newly dug tomb, and said with a smile: "It's probably this one." The newly excavated tomb made the 'Death-eating Female Corpse' become greedy, thinking that it had made a great contribution to the world, and this tomb was reserved for it..."
He looked up at Su Wu: "Who do you think this tomb is for?"
"I don't know." Su Wu shook his head.
The middle-aged man said again: "Think again."
Su Wu looked at the middle-aged man and said: "I know too little about the underworld. I don't know who the 'Lord of the Underworld' is. How can I know who can be buried in this place that belongs to the 'Lord of the Underworld'?" "In the tomb?"
"You must know." The middle-aged man said firmly, looking at Su Wu, "You already have the answer in your heart, but you haven't said it out yet."
"..." Su Wu fell silent.
"This is the tomb of the Lord of the Underworld." The middle-aged man turned sideways and raised his arms, pointing to the short tomb that was filled with soul-calling flags and stood alone on the top of the mountain.
Even though this tomb mound is very small, it is far less tall and magnificently decorated than the tombs at the foot of the mountain. But because it stands on the top of this high mountain, it itself has become a lofty peak.
No matter how tall and majestic the tombs at the foot of the mountain are, how can they be compared with it?
Su Wu looked at the short tomb mound, thoughtful for a moment.
The middle-aged man continued: "The Patriarch of Maoshan was deceived by 'Xiang'er' and sacrificed 'Eight Ghost Commanders' as a sacrifice. Before he could open the Heavenly Gate, he caught a fragment of the 'Original Heaven and Great Luotian' and died. Under the Nine Earths, it turns into the 'underworld'.
This 'Lord of the Underworld' is naturally inseparable from him.
In fact, part of his sexual soul turned into an "immortal soul" in the underworld, and became the "Lord of the Underworld".
However, now that the "immortal soul" formed by part of Tao Zu's sexual soul has dissipated, someone must lie down in this second tomb and become the second Lord of the Underworld.
This second tomb was excavated by Tao Zu himself and was left for later generations.
Guess who this tomb is for? "
The middle-aged man looked at Su Wu without blinking and asked Su Wu.
Su Wu frowned and looked at him, feeling that this man's temperament was out of touch. Just now he was asking him who the third tomb belonged to, but now he jumped to the question of who the second tomb belonged to.
He looked at the middle-aged man and suddenly said: "I'm staying here for you."
"Exactly."
The middle-aged man looked at Su Wu with an expression of "I knew you knew it" and said with a smile: "I only have one remnant soul today, and this remnant soul is actually suitable to be the 'Lord of the Underworld'!
——You have already guessed that the second tomb belongs to me, now it’s time to know who the third tomb belongs to, right? "
"Belong to me." Su Wu said expressionlessly.
"Sure enough, you have already succeeded!" The middle-aged man nodded heavily, "I dug this tomb just for you. Since you have established the 'Yin-bearing Emperor' temple system, you have shouldered the world's evil for all sentient beings. With your ambition, the position of the third generation of 'Lord of the Underworld' is suitable for you——"
Before Su Wu finished listening to what the middle-aged man said, he asked him, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man smiled and looked at Su Wu: "Do you already have the answer in your mind?"
"...is it Senior Wang Yangming who is known as the 'Heart Sage'?
Or is it the senior 'Su Wang' who created the 'Rightness Talisman' and recreated the evil prison? "
"Both."
"Both of them?" Su Wu's pupils shrank, looking at the middle-aged man, he didn't know what to say for a moment!
King Su should be a person from the current historical period. He was a poor scholar. He failed in the imperial examinations many times, so he hid in the theater troupes and wrote plays for many theater troupes. Therefore, that page of "Treasure Paper" 'Call him a 'novelist'.
And 'Wang Yangming' was born in the pre-Ming Dynasty. He pioneered the 'Xin Xue' and was revered as the 'Heart Sage'!
Two identities in different historical periods, but they are both the same person!
Is it ‘Suhui’s turning calamity’?
Or a phantom identity?
Thoughts were flashing in Su Wu's mind, while the middle-aged man sat on a stone bench minding his own business. On the top of the Taiping, there was only a solitary tomb filled with soul-calling flags, and a solitary tomb beside it. Outside the two excavated tombs, there are several wild trees accompanying the tombs, their branches swaying in the cold wind.
Under the dark wild pine trees, there is an altar made of stones that has collapsed.
Many cracks spread around the altar like spider webs. Those seemingly tiny cracks suddenly expanded under Su Wu's gaze, as if they had turned into terrifying dragon veins in an instant, penetrating all the worlds. , tearing apart all the worlds - however, the lonely tomb is located at the intersection of countless spider webs, suppressing the terrifying dragon veins, turning them into a few fine lines on the top of the mountain. That’s all.
Even if there are only a few fine lines in the mountain cracks, the terrifying charm of "the vastness is endless, everything returns to nothingness" is still circulating. This charm is captured by the solitary grave and transformed into the cold breath of the underworld - the breath of the underworld blows around the living body. The human spirit can easily make the soul of a living person become illusory, presumably because the breath of the underworld is transformed from such a terrifying charm.
The stone bench the middle-aged man was sitting on was very close to a mountain crevice.
The charm of 'vastness and emptiness' flowing from the cracks in the mountain floated around him, but changed with his mind in an instant, and was embraced by his mind, breathing with him.
He looked at Su Wu, pointed behind Su Wu, and said: "There is a seat behind you, just sit down."
Su Wu was about to say something but stopped.
The middle-aged man did not say anything polite to Su Wu, and turned to say: "You have now reached the level of 'consciousness', and are one step closer to the level of 'primordial spirit'. You should know that after reaching such a level, people's sexual thoughts will condense into 'soul'. From this level, you will truly have your own 'soul'.
You are stained with the breath of 'ghost dream', maybe you have seen my old friend.
You should have heard from him that 'heart saint' has cultivated to the 'primordial spirit realm'."
"I have heard it." Su Wu nodded.
"Yes.
Wang Menglong also only knows one side of the story, not the other.
Although I have cultivated to the 'realm of the primordial spirit', it is not the primordial spirit of 'the conscious spirit dies and the primordial spirit is born'. Since I have 'combined knowledge and action', and have made the heart the reason and the conscience, I have no so-called 'consciousness barrier'. My conscious spirit is the primordial spirit.
Su Wang is one of my conscious spirits, which is also one of my primordial spirits.
Wang Yangming is one of my conscious spirits, which is also my primordial spirit.
The me you see now is also a primordial spirit." said the middle-aged man.
Su Wu suddenly understood after hearing this, and he turned to the middle-aged man and asked: "Such a state should have surpassed the state of 'primordial spirit'? I often heard that above the primordial spirit, there are the states of 'on this shore' and 'three absences'——"
The middle-aged man shook his head, and then nodded: "Although all kinds of 'consciousness' are my primordial spirit, I can only practice to this point——After I got rid of all the consciousness and turned it into the primordial spirit, the 'Yuan River' poured back from the 'nothingness', blocking my way.
I guess , after this ‘consciousness’ has completely transformed into the ‘primordial spirit’, it should gather all the primordial spirits and all the selves together, and use the ‘all the selves’ in all time and space as hooks and locks, hooking all time and space, and all of them revolve around the ‘self’.
In this way, the state of ‘heart is the universe’ can be achieved.
In this way, it can bypass the practice of experiencing the ‘other shore’ and the ‘this shore’, and can directly cross the state of ‘three absences’, so that all selves can return to one. ”
“The heart is the universe, all selves return to one…”
Su Wu murmured.
‘Heart Saint’ is worthy of the name of a saint.
Only such a saint can create the practice methods of righteousness talisman, ‘heart learning’, and ‘all selves return to one’. Such methods are both shortcuts and the right way - unfortunately, the ‘primordial river’ poured back from the void, blocking the way forward for the heart saint’s practice, so that this ‘heart saint’, although it seems not to be a dead thing, is actually dead after all.
"The only flaw of this method of awakening conscience is that when it is about to be cultivated, the Yuan River will definitely flow back from the void, blocking the way forward and causing one to perish." Mentioning this, the 'Heart Saint Yuanshen' was also quite regretful, "Moreover, I see that your practice is completely different from mine. Since you have already walked a new path, there is no need to look back.
You can use this 'method of awakening conscience' as a choice when you are helpless.
Perhaps you can cut off the river flow and make 'all me return to one'?"
When the Heart Saint Yuanshen spoke, his 'method of awakening conscience' was also imprinted in Su Wu's mind along with his words!
Su Wu saluted respectfully to the 'Heart Saint Yuanshen', and the other party accepted it calmly.
He then said: "Why do you think that the level of 'all I return to one' is above the realm of 'three non-existences' and is the 'most perfect' of all?"
The handsome middle-aged man blinked: "What is the relationship between all living beings in the world and 'the will of the universe'?"
"It can be regarded as a mother-child relationship." Su Wu said, paused, and then said, "You can also regard all living beings as things that fall off from 'heaven'.
I understand what you mean."
The Heart Saint Yuanshen smiled and nodded: "You are very clear-sighted, and your understanding is indeed outstanding.
For example, 'I' and 'heaven' are originally of the same origin, Originally from one body, the level of "all selves return to one" is to regard "heaven" as a part of "self", to accommodate "external self" with "original self", and to achieve the state of "my heart is heaven's heart, my will is heaven's will".
However, "external self" is not allowed to accommodate "original self" with "heaven".
Because "heaven's root" comes from "nothingness".
Heaven accommodates all kinds of "self" in the world, and the final outcome is that all living beings in the world return to "nothingness"!
The theory of existence and non-existence is actually the theory of the root of everything.
In addition to this, there is actually another example that can prove that "all selves return to one" is the great perfection of all practice——"
